What is SOT therapy? 


SOT is an abbreviation for Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy. It is a process that allows a specialized lab to identify and create a nucleic acid sequence that can block specific genes that a microorganism or virus may use to grow and reproduce. SOT is made to target the exact infective organism in a patient’s blood and is only effective for that patient. SOT does not interfere with a patient’s cells or organisms that make up a patient’s healthy microbiome. 

How does SOT work? 


Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (or antisense therapy) is an alternative therapeutic option to treat Lyme disease, other tick-borne illnesses, and viral co-infections like EBV, HSV, CMV, and Varicella. It involves a specialized lab analyzing your blood and creating personalized nucleic acid interference molecules against your specific infection. The RNA sequences bind up and block the infectious agent’s mRNA which prohibits it from making proteins needed to reproduce and live. It only targets your infection, not your cells, and not the good bacteria that make up your microbiome. It is like a key that fits into a lock and turns off the engine. With the engine off, the infection can not survive. The treatment is administered in our clinic as a single intravenous infusion and continues to work 24/7 for up to 6 months.
